Suggest Treatment For Psychological Disorders And Neurological Disorder
Dear Sirs,
My name is Azizi and I have a 34 years old brother who has a neurologic disease since 2005. We live in Hamburg, Germany,since 18 years. We have been at several different hospitals and doctors. They say, he has got an illness called "the system syndrom", which means that his condition will get even worse in the future. It all began with his wedding in Pakistan in 2004.The following year he had a dream that somebody wants to kill him. After that he often had fears that he is followed by somebody and that he will be killed.This went on for about 2 years.In this time, he was able to speak, read and write as usual but wasn`t able to work anymore. He was then cured by the doctors with medicine, that helped making the fears go away but have the side effects that he isn`t able to live as a normal person anymore. He isn`t able to talk properly, read and write anymore. He can`t go onto the toilet alone and it`s difficult for him to walk because his bones are weak.He always needs help. The doctors said that they can`t heal his illness here in Germany.
We don`t want to give him up, especially because his conditon seems to become worse every month. We heard that your medical supply and possibilities are much better than in Germany. Besides, there are lots of specialists for neuro sciences in New Delhi.
Please tell us, if there is any hope for my brother, so that we can fly to India for his recover. He is married and has got two little chldren who need their father.
Please also tell us if there is another hospital which is able to help us.
Thank you very much for your efforts and a quick answer via email in advance.
Hopefully,
Azizi

Hello thanks for asking from HCM
I have read your query and I can understand your concern. The symptoms like some one will kill him, suspiciousness, some one is following etc could be occurring due to some underlying psychotic disorder. Paranoid ideation and suspiciousness in a patient of 25-35 yrs age raise suspicion of schizophrenia. Regarding system syndrome you have not mentioned his symptoms in detail but with proper treatment it can be controlled. His symptoms like poor social interaction, fear, not going out etc are probably due to psychosis. Consult a psychiatrist for treatment and evaluation. For weakness due to system syndrome visit a physician.
Antipsychotics are mainstay of treatment of schizophrenia. Risperidone, olanzapine etc are used commonly.
You can visit India with him for treatment. You can ask me directly if you have more questions regarding his symptoms and treatment.
Thanks
